Fits tune: Little Cornard
('Hills of the north rejoice')
*******
Christ lives, He dies no more
He has opened the door
Door to eternal life
Not our own efforts, strife
Be quick to hear, respond today
While still 'tis time, still mercy's day
Pray, watch, your servants here
Faithful with godly fear
Sure resurrection hope
In hearts, not downcast, mope
But trust in His almighty hand
He Lord of life o'er every land
This life eternal is
To know you Lord, true bliss
Know you the one God true
And Christ your one Son too
For you Father your Son have sent
Saviour on earth, He walked, He went
Went among poor and meek
Longing lost sheep to seek
That they come to His fold
Man, woman, child, young, old
For all you call inclusively
And yet your way exclusively
For there no other way
We can come, for you say
You Christ, the way, the light
The truth, the life, e'er bright
Bring light, we pray, where hearts dark are
Shine luminous beams, fine day-star
Look on this world troubled
Where peace, mercy is stalled
Return us to first-love
O Spirit, holy dove
Peace desires you in us inspire
Grant peace world o'er, like holy fire
